Possible connection between elevated serum α-fetoprotein and placental necrosis during pregnancy: A case report and review of literature

Placenta previa is the main cause of bleeding throughout pregnancy, and it is associated with serious complications, such as infection, that lead to a poor prognosis. Gynecological sonography is recommended as the first-line examination technique for the surveillance and determination of vaginal ble...

description Placenta previa is the main cause of bleeding throughout pregnancy, and it is associated with serious complications, such as infection, that lead to a poor prognosis. Gynecological sonography is recommended as the first-line examination technique for the surveillance and determination of vaginal bleeding and for early intervention. We report the case of a patient with gradually expanded hypoechoic lesion and extremely high serum α-fetoprotein level during her third trimester, and discuss their potential relationship in evaluating the progression of placental necrosis.
